Last year, I had an insane summer of California, Texas, and a road tip to Pennsylvania. And by the end of it all, I was CRANKY. Mo and I had just started dating, I hardly slept in my own bed, and it was just go go go.
Now, I have a bit tamer summer planned, and I'm wanting more. I'm not sure if it's because I won't be seeing the ocean, I'm just antsy, or if it's spring fever, but I want just one more vacation planned. A vacation where I can chill out, relax, sleep in, stay up late, and not be worried about missing something. Basically, take me to a beach!
I've been so busy with everything at school, working to get healthy (I've started ballet!!!!), trying to see Mo, working at the PD to save money for these vacations I've planned and am wanting to plan, and still trying to find time to sleep and eat. Being able to just relax sounds amazing. Part of me wants to plan a staycation in KC to just do what I want and not feel guilty about it...but that'll never happen.
I think there's something rejuvenating about getting away, taking time for yourself or loved ones, exploring a new place. Yeah, coming back home isn't always the most fun, but I think you grow every time you travel and you learn more about the world around you. It also makes you appreciate all the great things about where you're currently living.
And then I've had the chorus of this song stuck in my head all day...
